new toy

Dan just got a new guitar- an electric guitar.
When we got together, he got rid of all of his guitars except for his one acoustic.
So for over 5 years now we have had a really nice amp. without a guitar to plug into it.

This new guitar is pretty if I do say so myself.
Plus, it sure is making him happy.
I love seeing him so happy.

Because my girl LOVES Justin...

Red Tuna

I have been a horrible blogger, horrible.
Actually living life seems to get in the way of documenting it.
Anyway, the other day Quinn was just so adorable that I HAD to write about it.

She woke up extra early (and on her own) on a work/school day. She sat at the edge of her bed and excitedly bounced while screeching to me. She told me that she wanted to wear her "RED TUNA with her black skinny jeans and her tall black boots cause she wanted to be 'fashiony' ".

Ok, so it was still early so I had to take a few seconds to process it all in. a red TUNA... what?? ohhhh, she meant TUNIC. ahhhhh, gotcha.

When did my little girl get so old that she knew "fashiony" things??
How does she even know tunics??

Needless to say, she did get to wear her red tunic with her black skinny jeans with her tall black boots AND she got princess hair to complete the look.

The Missing Piece

Our Gilbert left us the day after Thanksgiving.
He is missed around here so much.
He was sometimes aggressive and sometimes a jerk, but he was OUR cat.
His strong-willed yet loving personality fit in with our little family so much.

Christmas

This is my Christmas- in photos.
It started with Quinn rushing to bed super early because we told her that Santa skips houses where the children are still awake. She even started crying when Dan was taking FOREVER to read her his book. It was so cute!
This is Christmas morning. She came down the stairs and saw all of her loot. She did notice that Santa had the same wrapping paper that we had... hmm. next year I need to change that.
Pico Bird might just be her favorite present. He has pretty much gone everywhere with her everyday since.
Opening MORE presents at Great Grandma/Grandpa Temple's!
Notice how even GG loves Pico Bird!
ready and waiting to chow down on some yummy food!
Pico and Quinn were on a mission to find something uber important :)
Then we went to Dad and Annette's and Grandma Carol was there too. Quinn LOVED her new Tinkerbell toy.
Look at this happy girl in these new jammies!

my Q

Ugh.

Today was a rough day for us here.

Quinn is sick and feels like crud. I wish that I could fix her, make her not hurt, take it all away.

For now, we will just stick to her two different medicines and wait for February when we get to check out her kidneys again.
